Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Madam, A mong the laws that God gave by the hand of Moses, one was, that the king who should rule over his people should have continually before him a copy of the law, and that he should read in it all tlie days of his life, that, having learnt to fear theL ord his God, and to observe the words of his law, he might prolong his days in his kingdom. And when he made Joshua the captain of his host, and the governor of his people, he spake thus to him. The book of the law sliall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate in it day and night, that tfiou may est observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and thou shall have good success. (J osh. i. 8.) King David made these testimonies his delight and his counsellors ;and because public affairs employed him in the daytime, he made them his study in the night; and thus he became wiser than his enemies, and of more understanding than all his teachers. It therefore having pleased theD ivine Providence, to the great joy and satisfaction of the whole nation, to appoint your Majesty the governor of his people, and the nursingmother of his church ;the law of Christ contained in theN ew Testament, must be both the rule of your Majesty sgovernment, and of the obedience of your subjects. We hope that God hath raised up your Majesty to be, as Queen Elizabeth was formerly, a signal blessing to this nation, and a great advancer of its happiness; a bulwark to the protestant religion, and a scourge and terror to its enemies: and that if any thing hath hitherto been wanting, to render us a truly religious, and so a happy people, and a glorious church, your Majesty is reserved to put the finishing hand to that blessed work; which, by VOL. v. rendering this law of Christ, as David did the law of Moses, your counsellor and your delight, you will most happily perform.
